People from tribal communities from across the Pacific Northwest marked Indigenous Peoples’ Day with a celebratory march through Seattle and ended with an evening gathering at Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center.

The Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center is a Native American cultural community center for people of all tribes. Before 1970, the center had been known as the Fort Lawton military base. Native American activists staged a non-violent takeover and occupation of the land, and completed the cultural center in 1977.
